All apartments and condominiums have Blue Carts for residents to recycle.

Since 2014, Halton Region has been working to implement the Green Cart program in all apartments and condominiums over a 5-year period. Residents, property owners, superintendents and/or condo board will be notified by Halton Region when the Green Cart program will be starting in your building. All parties will be provided with the necessary tools and resources to participate in the program.

Information for superintendents, property managers & owners

Using the Blue Carts and Green Carts:

Blue Carts and/or Green Carts must be accessible for collection by 7 a.m. on your scheduled collection day. If Carts and/or Carts are placed at the curb, they may be put out after 5 p.m. the night before.

Keep your Blue Carts and/or Green Carts clean. Wash with hot water and mild detergent on a regular basis. Upon request, Halton Region can provide you with the contact information for approved professional cleaning service provider.

The size of the Green Cart is 360 litres or 120 litres.

Line your Green Carts with a paper bag or a Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) certified bag.

Only place acceptable materials in the Blue Cart or Green Cart. Carts will not be collected if they are heavily contaminated with unacceptable materials. Help residents sort their waste properly by placing acceptable materials signs above the Carts and ensuring each Cart has an acceptable materials label.

All acceptable materials can all go in the same Blue Cart; separating materials is not required.
